NotebookConvertSettings
{...}
NotebookConvertSettings is a global option that stores settings associated with the "Notebook Convert" dialog box. This dialog box appears when you open a notebook created using Publicon Version 2. NotebookConvertSettings consists of the following suboptions.
"InputToStandardForm"
• "InputToStandardForm" is a global option that determines if input cells are converted to StandardForm whenever a notebook is converted from Version 2.
• With the default setting InputToStandardForm 
False, input cells present in a Version 2 notebook are not converted to StandardForm.
• With the setting InputToStandardForm True, input cells present in a Version 2 notebook are automatically converted to StandardForm when the notebook is converted.
"OutputToStandardForm"
• "OutputToStandardForm" is a global option that determines if output cells are converted to StandardForm whenever a notebook is converted from Version 2.
• With the default setting "OutputToStandardForm" False, output cells present in a Version 2 notebook are not converted to StandardForm.
• With the setting "OutputToStandardForm" True, output cells present in a Version 2 notebook are automatically converted to StandardForm when the notebook is converted.
"PreserveStyleSheet"
• "PreserveStyleSheet" is a global option that determines if a private style sheet is generated, which replicates the styles used in the Version 2 notebook, and attached to the new notebook
• With the default setting "PreserveStyleSheet" False, a Version 2 notebook is automatically assigned the default style sheet when it is converted. All style information about the original notebook is therefore lost in the conversion.
• With the setting "PreserveStyleSheet" True, a private style sheet is generated that replicates the styles used in the Version 2 notebook.
• Because the default settings in the current version of Publicon are fairly similar to those in Version 2, a notebook that did not define its own custom styles will look quite similar when converted with this option set to False. It is recommended that you elect not to preserve styles unless your notebook defines many custom styles; it is generally better to start with a fresh set of default styles.
"GenerateBitmapCaches"
• "GenerateBitmapCaches" is a global option that determines if graphics are rendered and bitmap versions are included in the new file when a notebook is converted from Version 2.
• With the setting "GenerateBitmapCaches" False, no bitmap caches are generated, so any graphics present in the notebook will have to be rendered when they are first displayed while scrolling through the notebook.
• With the setting "GenerateBitmapCaches" True, each graphic in the notebook will be fully rendered during the conversion process and a bitmap cache stored in the new file. This can take a long time and consume a lot of memory for a large notebook containing many graphics cells. However, it allows the resulting notebook to be opened more quickly.
